Hello Wash, I last performed this operation a few weeks ago -- until I updated my 3-S slice to 4-S in August. AFAIR, there is no /usr/src/UPDATING for 3-S (ie it was empty), but you should check, anyway. Also, I followed the normal, classical, standard sequence (make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster, remake devices, remake sysinstall, remake kernel: exactly by the book) withouth ever running into any problems. Yes, I was (and I am) overly cautious, too :-) AFAIR & AFAIK, the buildkernel and installkernel targets -- and, more generally, the **new** source-update sequence, which operates from ~ 9 July -- should not concern 3-STABLE. By the way, you might specify a suitable (test) DESTDIR for the installworld step, one never knows :-) HTH, Salvo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
